I just upgraded from 4.5 to 5.1 and and now drush can not find any of it's own internal commands. I get the following error:

Unknown option: --package-handler. See `drush help core-status` for available options. To suppress this error, add the option --strict=0.

when I add the --strict=0 at the end of a command - it works. Any thoughts as to what is wrong with the upgrade?

No idea. How did you upgrade? What's the output of drush status?

I used
drush self-update

and the results of drush status is

# drush status

It seems to me you have package-handler option defined in an alias file. In drush 5 it must be defined as command-specific options. See examples/example.aliases.drushrc.php (same for a config file).
